To Him Be Glory

"To him be glory both now and forever."   [2 Peter 3:18]

Heaven will be full of the ceaseless praises of Jesus. Eternity! your unnumbered years shall speed their everlasting course, but forever and forever, “to him be glory.” Is he not a “Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek?” “To him be glory.” Is he not king forever?—King of kings and Lord of lords, the everlasting Father?  “To him be glory forever.” Never shall his praises cease. That which was bought with blood deserves to last while immortality endures. The glory of the cross must never be eclipsed; the lustre of the grave and of the resurrection must never be dimmed. O Jesus! you shall be praised forever. Long as immortal spirits live—long as the Father’s throne endures—forever, forever, to you shall be glory. Believer, we are anticipating the time when we shall join the saints above in ascribing all glory to Jesus; but are we glorifying him now? The apostle’s words are, “To him be glory both now and forever.” Shall we not this day make it our prayer? “Lord, help me to glorify you; I am poor; help me to glorify you by contentment; I am sick; help me to give you honour by patience; I have talents; help me to extol you by spending them for you; I have time; Lord, help me to redeem it, that I may serve you; I have a heart to feel; Lord, let that heart feel no love but yours, and glow with no flame but affection for you; I have a head to think; Lord, help me to think of you and for you; you have put me in this world for something; Lord, show me what that is, and help me to work out my life-purpose: I cannot do much; but as the widow put in her two mites, which were all her living, so, Lord, I cast my time and eternity too into your treasury; I am all yours; take me, and enable me to glorify you now, in all that I say, in all that I do, and with all that I have.”  Amen, God bless

" John 10:10 New King James Version (NKJV) 10  The thief does not come except to steal,  and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life,  and that they may have  it  more abundantly."       When we talk about the abundance of blessings, most people assume that because talking about it is closely related to the problem of sheer material, but fundamentally the Lord speaks of the abundance of blessing, not only of material things, but also talk about the abundance of blessings in a perfect way.

"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang takut kepada Tuhannya di saat mereka tidak tampak di hadapan yang lainnya, mereka akan memperoleh ampunan dan pahala yang besar. Dan rahasiakanlah perkataanmu atau lahirkanlah; sesungguhnya Dia Maha Mengetahui segala isi hati. Apakah Allah Yang menciptakan itu tidak mengetahui (yang kamu lahirkan atau rahasiakan); dan Dia Maha Halus lagi Maha Mengetahui? Dialah Yang menjadikan bumi itu mudah bagi kamu, maka berjalanlah di segala penjurunya dan makanlah sebahagian dari rezki-Nya. Dan hanya kepada-Nya-lah kamu (kembali setelah) dibangkitkan ." (QS. Al Mulk: 12-15) “Takutlah akan Allah dan muliakanlah Dia, karena telah tiba saat penghakiman-Nya, dan sembahlah Dia yang telah menjadikan langit dan bumi dan laut dan semua mata air” (Wahyu 14:7)
